How to determine the right font size for android?


I'm developing an app for android mobile devices. I'm using the AVD emulator and everything seems to be fine, but then I tested it on real device(HTC Wildfire 240x320) and the text appears so small that I can not read it. For android:textSize I'm using sp measure! I tried also to change the density of the emulator from 240 to 480 - no effect!

What am I missing?

  • According to What is the difference between "px", "dp", "dip" and "sp" on Android?

    It's possible that your HTC Wildfire have a user preference set to very small text.
